Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 57 New Ideas
Chapter 57: Chapter 57 New Ideas
Sun Wukong secretly followed Tufu Xingjun to the Fragrant Attire Hall, only to find that the rascal was merely having a clandestine meeting with a fragrance-handling jade maiden named Bai Huaxiu, and then he saw plenty of hugging and snuggling scenes.
"Holding each other like they’re holding babies, what’s the fun in that?" Sun Wukong wondered.
Fortunately, though the two were like dry tinder meeting a fierce flame, they didn’t catch fire, otherwise he really couldn’t bear to watch.
Then he heard Tufu Xingjun say, "After all, this is the Heavenly Holy Realm, we shouldn’t ruin its harmony."
Bai Huaxiu, holding him regretfully, complained, "It’s only you who follows the heavenly rules, turning a jade maiden into a maid of desire."
Tufu Xingjun’s lust flared up again, and after randomly groping around a bit, he stopped to gasp for air, "Recently someone died in the heavenly court, things are tense, we better keep quiet, let’s not meet again to avoid a serious sin."
Bai Huaxiu said, "I think you just can’t bear to leave that Star Lord of the Six Harmonies."
Tufu Xingjun snorted coldly, "Don’t mention that wretched woman, if it weren’t for my marrying her, how could her family have established themselves at Zhou Camp, or ascend to become immortals.
Now that they’ve grown wings, they treat me with cold scorn, I’ll make them acknowledge my power sooner or later!"
Bai Huaxiu then held him in her arms again, cooingly said, "Then you need to act quickly, don’t make others wait too long."
Tufu Xingjun smirked lasciviously, "I can hardly bear to part with you, it won’t be long."
Bai Huaxiu lamented again, "I’m just a humble fragrance-handling jade maiden, and you are a high and mighty Star Lord, whatever you say goes, I just hope you won’t play games with me."
The two were entwined with each other for a while longer before finally stopping, and Tufu Xingjun hurriedly left, returning to his own Tufu Xingjun Mansion.
Sun Wukong followed all the way, other than witnessing those disgusting scenes at the Fragrant Attire Hall, he found no useful clues afterwards.
"It looks like I have to wait for him to slip up on his own."
Afterwards, Sun Wukong continued to indulge in drinking and merrymaking in the side temple of the Arsenal Department with Yang Chan, Ne Zha, and Tian Peng.
A while later, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven’s mansion was completed, containing the Peaceful God Department and Tranquil Department, staffed with numerous celestial officials to manage affairs for Sun Wukong’s household.
At this moment, Sun Wukong finally felt he had truly established himself in the heavenly court, finding a place where he could carefreely roam, and he temporarily shelved the matter of investigation.
Time being endless for him and unconcerned about the cosmic calamities, he enjoyed his leisure without the need to bother about these worldly issues every day.
First, he invited numerous well-regarded friends from heaven to his mansion to show off for a bit.
But soon he found it boring, for the residences of others, like Ne Zha and Tian Peng, were no lesser than his.
One idle day, Sun Wukong connected mentally with "Zhihu", and posted a message to brag a bit, as not every netizen was a being of vast Divine Skills, and surely they hadn’t seen the celestial mansions up in the heavens.
"I am Sun Wukong, appointed by the Jade Emperor as the Arms Depot Lord, and just yesterday my Immortal Mansion was completed, much to my delight. Dare I ask if any seniors have any advice?"
Responses came quickly.
Gentle Grass by the River: "Are you here to seek advice? Seems like you’re here to show off and boast!"
The Handsomest One: "Exactly, exactly, got a promotion and also split a giant heavenly mansion, isn’t that just the divine winner’s life!"
Contractor Blackie: "Thread starter, thinking of decorating your new house? We have professional designers here to provide you with the ultimate luxury experience, if interested please contact..."
An Lan: "Hey bro upstairs, you also take on Heavenly Realm’s projects? Can you bring me along?"
Psychiatry Department Director: "I’ve read all the comments from the original poster, this is already late-stage delusional disorder, and many netizens are the same, please seek treatment in time."
Except for the last reply, all others made Sun Wukong grin from ear to ear, for he was obviously there to show off.
Daydreaming Grandmaster: "Wukong, Wukong, you are now in charge of weapons, how about giving the weapons in Heaven a major upgrade, and shock the immortals of the Three Realms? Planes, cannons, galaxy warships, bring ’em all!"
Eighty-eighty: "Planes and cannons, you think this is Nuclear Bomb Saint?"
Clash on Clash: "Mixing technology in a mythological world is too discordant. If this were written in a novel, it would make people question their life choices."
Daydreaming Grandmaster: "As long as it’s fun, who cares what they say? If Western fantasy can have magic conductors and crystal cannons, why can’t our Eastern mythology?"
Big Cousin for real: "It really is discordant, don’t mess around. Moreover, the mythological world has many powerful beings who can ’Create Laws with Words.’ What use do technological weapons have? And does Sun Wukong even understand mathematics, physics, chemistry?"
Reading this, Sun Wukong scratched his face, admitting he really didn’t understand.
He continued reading the replies.
Run Run Han: "Damn, can Western fantasy compare to our Eastern mythology? With a single finger, I as a Daluo Golden Immortal could turn their supreme gods into ash."
Life without Intestines: "Though the Worlds converge towards one truth, despite Western fantasy being on a lower tier, some of their ideas are still worth considering,
like crafting magic conductors. We could transform our Supernatural Spells into spiritual patterns, etch them onto magical treasures, turning them into spirit conductors that can be activated with just spiritual energy and mana."
Know-It-All from Primordial Origins: "Not a bad idea, but our Eastern mythological powers had already thought of this and put it into practice long ago. Those ultimate treasures and Spiritual Treasures contain fragments of cosmic laws and numerous prohibitions, which is why they’re so powerful. This is way more advanced than those trashy magic conductors."
Life without Intestines: "I know what you mean, Elder, but I’m talking about the ordinary immortals, as not every immortal possesses ultimate treasures or Spiritual Treasures.
If we could engrave various powerful Supernatural Spells onto ordinary magical treasures, even average immortals could greatly increase their power by a single treasure."
Know-It-All from Primordial Origins: "This is feasible, and with the crafting of ultimate treasures and Spiritual Treasures as templates, Sun Wukong definitely has the potential to create spirit conductors. Even if he can’t figure it out, he could still seek advice on the Path of Artifact Refining from the Grand Master Tai Shang Lao Jun.
Ha ha, just thinking about it is fun. If the Heavenly soldiers and generals could be comprehensively strengthened, why bother with the Buddhist Monastery or the Journey to the West to propagate Buddhism? Just straight up flatten them, and abolish that bunch of baldies for good!
Of course, all this presupposes that the Jade Emperor has complete control over the Heavenly Realm."
After reading this, Sun Wukong was truly sure these senior netizens weren’t joking, because he also heard a prompt in his mind.
[You have received a new suggestion: Successfully craft a spirit conductor, complete this suggestion to receive a sixth-tier treasure box]
[You have received a new suggestion: Seek advice on Artifact Refining from Tai Shang Lao Jun, complete this suggestion to receive a fifth-tier treasure box]
"Hmm, I’m free anyway, might as well have some fun," Wukong’s lively eyes twinkled, and he then headed to the Refining Fire Hall.
The Heavenly Realm’s skilled craftsmen were mostly there, better to learn from them first.
Once he had a rough idea of Artifact Refining, he would go to the Taiqing Palace to find Tai Shang Lao Jun.
Moreover, his intuition told him that this new approach might provide a breakthrough in his investigation of the weapon smuggling case.
